Restore Bore Health
Bundaberg Bore Clean Outs
Bundaberg’s groundwater is known for its mineral content and iron-rich soils, which can clog bores over time. Cheyenne Drilling offers professional bore clean outs to help restore consistent water pressure and extend the life of your system. With 16+ years servicing the Bundaberg region, we’re familiar with the common causes of reduced bore performance—from iron buildup and biofilm to sand infiltration and casing scale.
Our team uses non-invasive methods to flush out the blockages, delivering fast results without disturbing your property. We’re often able to clear blockages in just one visit, helping you avoid the cost of re-drilling. Many local homeowners, farms and rural landowners rely on our services for dependable flow and clean water access.

Servicing All Bore Types
Bundaberg’s warm climate and mineral-rich groundwater can cause scaling, algae growth, and sediment buildup inside bore casings. Over time, this leads to reduced water flow, blockages, and pressure drops—particularly in older or frequently used systems. A professional bore clean out removes these unwanted materials, restoring efficiency and prolonging the life of your infrastructure. Whether your bore services household needs, crop irrigation, or livestock, targeted cleaning addresses the specific issues impacting output.
We work with all types of bore construction, including PVC, steel, and concrete, and use commercial-grade blow-out and high-pressure flushing equipment to dislodge and extract buildup. Our team tailors the method to suit the bore’s design, age, and current condition, ensuring safe and effective results. Bore cleaning is far more affordable than redrilling or replacing a system and often delivers immediate improvements.
Why does my bore water smell or look rusty?
Rusty or smelly water is typically caused by iron bacteria or natural mineral buildup inside the bore casing. This is common in areas like Bundaberg with iron-rich soil and high mineral content in groundwater. The bacteria feed on iron and form a slime that can clog pipes, pumps and filters. A bore clean out removes this buildup and clears the system, improving the water’s appearance, odour and pressure. Regular maintenance can prevent recurrence and keep your bore water usable for irrigation and non-potable purposes.
Can a bore clean out reduce pump strain?
Yes, absolutely. When a bore becomes clogged with debris or sediment, the pump has to work harder to draw water, which can cause overheating, frequent cycling, and eventual failure. Cleaning out the bore restores the water pathway, easing the load on the pump and improving its efficiency. In Bundaberg’s warm climate, pumps are already under strain from high usage, so reducing internal resistance is key. Clean outs often extend pump life and delay the need for costly replacements or repairs.
How long does the process take?
Most bore clean outs in Bundaberg can be completed within 2–4 hours, depending on the severity of the blockage and the bore’s depth and age. We start with an assessment to identify the cause of reduced flow, then use compressed air or water flushing systems to clean the casing. For deeper or more complex bores, we may use specialty tools, but the majority of clean outs are same-day services. You don’t need to vacate the property, and no digging is required.
